Netflix Coming To The UK?

Hey guys Josh here with a bit of interesting news. So it appears the streaming giant of the US of A is moving over seas to us in the UK. Will it be another Quickster? find out below.

So it appears Netflix wanted to branch out to an audience crying out for a decent streaming source that was legal and not too expensive (here's looking at you zune) So Netflix have announced they are bringing their streaming service to the UK and Irish Republic some time next year.


Netflix said it would provide a subscription service in the UK offering unlimited TV shows and movie streaming over the Internet.The company said further details about the service, including pricing and content will be announced closer to launch in early 2012. It recently expanded its subscription streaming service to Canada and is reportedly looking to launch in other European countries (so don't bitch about being left out France)

But its not all smooth sailing for this branch out as the UK already has Love Film which our very own Chris is a member of. But with Netflix being exclusive to the Xbox i don't think the competition will be too fierce (but here's hoping it causes them to battle for the lowest price)


But Netflix does face competition with other audiences. Google is expanding its film rental offerings via its YouTube channel, while Apple offers film and TV show rentals on its iTunes platform and with Sky, Virgin and BT also increasingly offering on-demand services it might be harder than they originally thought.

So what do you guys think? Will you sign up on day 1 for you Xbox streaming?
